The Xiaomi Mi 10T series comprising of Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro launched in India in October 2020. The successor to the latter model dubbed as Xiaomi 11T Pro is all set to debut in the country tomorrow (January 19). Ahead of that, we have come across a sweet deal on the vanilla Mi 10T.

Twitter user @imbibingnoob (Anoop Varghese) has spotted an interesting deal on the Xiaomi Mi 10T. The device is being offered at only ₹21,694 by Croma. For this price, you get the phone in Lunar Silver colorway featuring 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Buyers can also avail bank discounts/cashbacks to further lower the price. For the unaware, this variant of the handset was released at ₹35,999.

At ₹21,694, we believe that the Mi 10T is still a good deal.  Because it provides premium features like a glass sandwich design, 6.67-inch 144Hz FHD+ HDR-ready display (LCD) with MEMC, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 64MP(wide) + 13MP(ultra-wide) + 5MP(macro) triple camera setup, 20MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

That’s not all, thanks to 10 5G bands, the handset is more futureproof than most 5G smartphones in this price segment. It has also got NFC, unlike other Xiaomi phones in the segment (except for Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G). Hence, even if contactless payments catch up in the near future, you won’t miss out.

The only con we could think of is software support. The smartphone has already received an Android update. It may only receive one more in the form of Android 12, in addition to MIUI 13. As of now, we cannot tell if the device will receive the next generation of MIUI. Anyway, there are always custom ROMs if you are into that.

The Mi 10T 5G and Mi 10T Pro 5G have landed in Indonesia. The two flagship phones were announced earlier this week and are now available for pre-order.

Prior to the launch, we had thought only the Mi 10T Pro 5G will be announced in the country but surprisingly, the standard version was also unveiled. Both phones are available in a single configuration.

The Mi 10T 5G comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and is available in Black and Silver for a price tag of IDR 5,999,000 (~$426). The Mi 10T Pro 5G comes in the same colors but has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It is priced at IDR 6,999,000 (~$497).

The two phones have a 6.67-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a punch hole at the top left corner of the screen for a 20MP selfie camera. You get a Snapdragon 865 processor that draws power from a 5000mAh battery in both devices.

Where they differ is in the camera configuration. The Mi 10T Pro 5G has a 108MP + 13MP ultrawide angle camera + 5MP macro camera on the back while the Mi 10T 5G has a 64MP + 13MP ultrawide + 5MP macro camera.

Regardless of the model you purchase, you get stereo speakers, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, an IR blaster, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and support for 33W fast charging. Both phones run MIUI 12 based on Android 10 out of the box.

The two phones are available for pre-order on Jingdong Indonesia and on the Xiaomi Indonesia website from today up until December 14. The first 200 people who pre-order will get a free pair of Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic while the first 200 who purchase on December 15, the first day it goes on sale, will get a free Mi 10000mAh Power Bank 3.

Xiaomi recently unveiled the Mi 10T 5G phones with the phone’s starting price of €449 (~$530) placing it on the leaderboard as one of the best 5G phones you can get for that price category.  The Mi 10T tags along with the Mi 10T Pro, both powered by a Snapdragon 865 chipset with a powerful camera system and big battery.

One area where Xiaomi threw in a surprise is the use of a 144Hz LCD screen instead of a high refresh rate OLED screen. In case you are wondering why,  a Xiaomi executive has elaborated on the decision to go with LCD in an interview with TechRadar.

Xiaomi’s product marketing manager Daniel Hoang Desjarlais reportedly stated that; “It is better to have a high-quality LCD, the best of the best LCD, versus a middling sort of AMOLED.”

The Xiaomi exec also mentioned eye strain as a reason to opt for LCD tech though. “There are issues with AMOLED and certain peoples’ eyes – I think it’s like 10% of the population, when looking at an AMOLED display, experience very heavy eye strain,” Mr Hoang Desjarlais is reported to have said.

However, adducing eye strain as an excuse is not really tenable considering that DC dimming has come to the rescue in that regard. The Mi 10T series is considerably cheaper than other flagship models and it is believed that other factors like pricing are also responsible for the adoption of LCD panels in the Mi 10T series.

In addition, Mr Hoang Desjarlais also elaborated on why they opted for a flat screen rather than a curved panel, noting that the majority of users preferred the former option.

“I’ve done quite a bit of polling and user research on this,” the executive was quoted as saying, “60% of users prefer the flat edge, or flat displays,” the Xiaomi exec added.

We can attest to this as an independent poll conducted by Gizmochina back in February also shows a large number of respondents prefer the flat panel.

After launching the Mi 10T 5G and Mi 10T Pro 5G in Europe, Xiaomi has announced the two devices in Malaysia.

The  Mi 10T Pro 5G is available in a single configuration of 8GB RAM + 256GB storage and is priced at RM 1,999 (~$481) which is significantly cheaper than the price tag in Europe which is €649 (~$765).

Interested buyers can grab it on Lazada in Cosmic Black, Lunar Silver, and Aurora Blue beginning October 9. Sadly, there are no free gifts available with orders unlike in Germany and Italy. Nevertheless, they are getting it at a much cheaper price. However, if you do a search on the site, there are some third-party resellers that have pre-order bundles with some nice free gifts including a wireless charging pad, power bank, selfie stick, car charger, and more.

The Mi 10T is also available in just one configuration – 8GB RAM + 128GB – and it is priced at RM 1,699 (~$409). It is available in Cosmic Black and Lunar Silver and will be available starting October 23.

The Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro both have 6.67-inch FHD+ displays with a 144Hz refresh rate. They are powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor which draws power from a 5000mAh battery with support for 33W wired fast charging. The Pro version has a 108MP triple camera setup while the standard version has a 64MP triple camera. Both have 20MP selfie cameras, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and run Android 10 out of the box.

The Mi 10T Lite is listed on the Xiaomi Malaysian site but it appears it will go on sale at a much later date.

Xiaomi India’s official Twitter handle shared a tweet about the upcoming flagship lineup, which includes the Mi 10T 5G and Mi 10T Pro 5G. Back in September, the company had officially launched the new series that arrived with a few upgrades to the previously launched flagship, Mi 10 series. Notably, the Mi 10 Lite, which was also recently found receiving the SIG certification was also expected to make its way to the Indian market, however, the tweet failed to have any mention of the mid range level handset.

For those unaware, the Mi 10T series sports one of the highest refresh rate displays ever found in a smartphone, with 144Hz panels. Although to achieve this, the company had to use IPS LCD screens, which Xiaomi claims is one of the best in the industry. The series sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor that also arrives with support for 5G, so it is future proofed in a manner since the newer standard of networking has yet to be commercially rolled out in the region. You can even check out our comparison between the Mi 10T Pro to the Mi 10 Ultra, which had some very interesting differences.

We are a few days from the launch of the Mi 10T series. The new smartphones from Xiaomi will be unveiled on September 30 and the launch will be live-streamed. While we already know what the Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro look like, more press renders have leaked that show the phones from all angles. The images are also accompanied with the full specs of the two devices.

The photos and spec sheet were posted on Twitter by Sudhanshu Ambhore (@sudhanshu1414) and they show the two phones in black and reveal that the new phones will have high refresh rates, side-mounted fingerprint scanners, and a Snapdragon 865 processor.

The Mi 10T 5G will have a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display that has a hole in the top left corner for a 20MP camera. The display has an FHD+ resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and a 144Hz refresh rate. It also has a DCI-P3 color gamut and Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

As previously reported, the Snapdragon 865 is the processor under the hood and it comes along with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone will pack a 5000mAh battery with support for 33W wired fast charging.

There are three cameras on the Mi 10T and not four though the design makes it look like there are four. The circle above the LED flash doesn’t house a camera. The main camera is a 64MP sensor and the other two are a 13MP ultrawide angle camera and a 5MP macro camera. The spec sheet says the back is also covered in Gorilla Glass 5.

The Mi 10T 5G also has stereo speakers, Hi-Res Audio, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, a USB-C port flanked by the SIM tray and speaker grille, and an IR blaster at the top. As seen in the renders, the Mi 10T 5G also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. There is no audio jack, which should not be a surprise. The phone will be available in Black and Silver, will weigh 218 grams, and measure 165.1 x 76.4 x 9.33 millimeters.

The Mo 10T Pro 5G also has a 6.67-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display. Its refresh rate is also 144Hz and the hole in the screen is home to a 20MP front-facing camera too.

Those who opt for the Pro version also get a Snapdragon 865 processor and 8GB of RAM. However, they have the option of choosing between purchasing the phone with 128GB or 256GB of storage space.

Where the Pro gets its name from is actually the camera department. It swaps the 64MP sensor of the standard model for a 108MP sensor with optical image stabilization. It also has a 13MP ultrawide angle camera and a 5MP macro camera.

The Mi 10T Pro 5G has stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, an IR blaster, Bluetooth 5.1, dual SIM, and Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides.
